    FAQ's

    An Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist is dedicated to diagnosing and managing a broad spectrum of conditions affecting the ear, nose, throat, and related structures. They play a crucial role in addressing problems such as hearing loss, ranging from age-related hearing decline to more acute conditions. They also manage diverse concerns like voice disorders, nasal polyps, and vestibular disorders impacting balance.

    If you notice persistent ear pain, discharge, or a decline in hearing, seeking prompt consultation with an ENT specialist is crucial. Persistent ear pain may signal an underlying infection or inflammation, and the expertise of ENT specialists at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Therefore, scheduling a consultation allows for early identification of the root cause and the implementation of effective management strategies.

    Sinusitis, characterised by inflammation of the sinuses, typically results from viral or bacterial infections. These infections trigger an immune response, causing the sinus linings to swell and block normal drainage. The resulting congestion creates a conducive environment for further infection. Treating sinusitis involves a multifaceted approach. Antibiotics are used for bacterial infections, targeting the underlying cause. Decongestants provide relief by reducing nasal congestion, and nasal irrigation helps flush out mucus and alleviate symptoms. In addition, supportive measures like rest and hydration aid in recovery.

    Snoring, often dismissed as a common occurrence, can signify more serious health issues like sleep apnea or respiratory issues. This makes a consultation with an ENT specialist crucial. At Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, we house a sleep clinic that is dedicated to managing a wide range of sleep problems, including snoring.

    Diagnosing sleep apnea involves comprehensive sleep studies that monitor breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and other factors. Once diagnosed, treatment strategies are tailored to the severity of the condition. At the sleep clinic in Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, we offer various treatment strategies, such as weight management in the case of snorers who are overweight or obese, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and surgery to manage the airway obstruction. Additional treatment options, like positional, behavioural, oral appliances, and psychotherapy, are also provided.

    Distinguishing a cold from a sinus infection is essential. Although they share symptoms, a sinus infection often presents with heightened facial pain and persistent nasal discharge. A medical evaluation becomes crucial for an accurate diagnosis.

    Nasal polyps management varies according to the patient. Corticosteroids are often prescribed for smaller cases, alleviating inflammation and symptoms. However, larger or persistent nasal polyps may necessitate surgical intervention. Consultation with our ENT specialist at Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills ensures an individualised approach, determining the most suitable treatment plan for effective polyp management.

    A tonsillectomy, the surgical removal of tonsils, is recommended for various conditions. Recurrent tonsillitis, characterised by frequent and severe throat infections, is a common indication. In addition, difficulty breathing and sleep apnea stemming from enlarged tonsils may prompt this procedure.

    Paediatric hearing loss assessment is a comprehensive process involving various tests. Behavioural tests, tailored to the child’s age, gauge their responses to sound stimuli. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests measure the electrical activity in response to sound, providing insights into auditory nerve function. Tympanometry evaluates middle-ear conditions by measuring eardrum movement. This combination of tests allows audiologists and ENT specialists to thoroughly assess paediatric hearing loss and devise appropriate interventions.

    With a legacy spanning over three decades, Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, have implemented a compulsory screening protocol to identify hearing impairment in newborns across all Apollo entities. The Apollo Cochlear Implant Program in Hyderabad, distinguished for its commitment to cutting-edge technology and empathetic patient care, has successfully treated individuals ranging from 9-month-old babies to 87-year-old adults. This program has been instrumental in positively transforming the lives of thousands facing hearing challenges.

    When assessing voice disorders, an ENT specialist conducts a comprehensive examination. Depending on the underlying cause, they may recommend various interventions. Speech therapy can enhance vocal function, medication may address specific issues, and in certain cases, surgical procedures may be advised.

    Preventing hearing loss involves proactive measures. Shielding your ears from loud noises, using ear protection in noisy environments, and limiting the duration and volume when using earphones contribute to hearing health. Immediate treatment of ear infections is essential, as untreated infections can lead to complications. Adopting these practices fosters long-term auditory well-being.
